 #Verse 1.
 C                               Em              
 I started those fillies at the pens this mornin'
               F                C  
 You know the buckskin and the bay,
                           Em            
 Before the wind started blowin' too hard
         F               C  
 At the mid part of the day,
                       Em             
 The driest spring in ninety-one years
 F                Dm 
 The radio played on.
        C                 Em                 F  D 
 Said, Irving Berlin is hundred years old today 
      C                        G    C  
 The winds gone and blown my woman away
 
 Verse 2.
 C                                  Em        
 The Bay's a little sweetheart ... yeah she is
 F                     C  
 Pretty much like her mom,
                          Em                   
 The Buckskin's rank ... took me twenty minutes
          F              C  
 Just to put the hobbles on,
                                    Em              
 She's smart and she's fast and she dont like people
 F                     Dm   
 She trembles as she stands.
       C                  Em               F    D 
 And Irving Berlin is a hundred years old today 
      C                        G     C   
 The wind's gone and blown my woman away.
 
 (Chorus)
 Am                                      
 Good God almighty is it ever gonna rain?
 Em                       
 Are you ever coming home!
     F                                   
 I wonder if old Irving ever wrote a song
        Fm                                      
 About blowed out country, a marriage gone wrong
         C              G      
 And a cowboy on the telephone?
 
 Happy birthday, Irving, God bless you
 Are you glad just to be alive!
 The hockey game is on tonight from Boston
 I've got the Oilers in five,
 Tomorrow I'm gonna try and fix this tractor
 And try to keep my mind off of you
 And Irving Berlin is a hundred years old today
 The wind's gone and blown my woman away
 Irving Berlin is 100 years old today
 The winds gone and blown my woman away
